    I went through these posts and Its like another language to me. I am so lost. I am wanting to place my blog to load at my yahoo 360. When I click on the rss links at the bottom of my wp 2.0 it shows page not found. And yahoo help tut said I needed to click on the xml orange box on my wp and it will give me the url to add it, but there is no orange box or a text link that says xml..so I am really lost. I would appreciate any assistance.
    my bog is at:

    Thanks, M.L.

    Take this link:

    feed:http://moongladedesigns.com/weblog/?feed=rss2

    And change it to:

    http://moongladedesigns.com/weblog/?feed=rss2

    The use of feed: as a protocol scheme is sort of new (and not broadly supported, yet), but the purpose of it is to launch a newsreader application you (may) have installed on your PC when you click on such a link.

    However, when providing the url to your feed(s), don't include it. You can also edit your theme's templates (in your case probably footer.php) to remove it if you'd like, as it'll be hardcoded in the link:

    <a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">Entries (RSS)</a> and <a href="feed:<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2'); ?>">Comments (RSS)</a>

    Thank you so much for your time and your smarts. LOL

    So in my footer, do I just remove these tags?

    ">Entries (RSS) and ">Comments (RSS)

    Thanks so much again. hugs, ML

    No, remove this portion from the href attribute:

    feed:
